"Aside from the Golden Halls, no other city in the Dwavern Kingdom has walls such as the ones seen surrounding the great city of Aldsnow."

―Description of Aldsnow

Aldsnow is a large city located in Kolodyyne, the largest country in the Dwavern Kingdom. Aldsnow is one of the newest cities in the kingdom, and was founded to support the increasing population of Dwarves and Humans. Its massive and strong walls made it a sought out place for many people during the War of a Hundred Years, and served as military base for most of the war.

Aldsnow begun its construction around FA 12520, when hundreds of ships carrying humans begun to dock near Oasthold. Whithan Grazaxe decided to help create a city that would house these people, and also the increasing dwarf population. More than two thousand builders were assigned to start its construction, along with a further five thousand slaves.

The building took more than 40 years before it was ready for civilians. Due to the War of a Hundred Years, funding was difficult as many of the gold was sent to war, and the city used most of its funds building a strong wall to prevent the Dark-Elf Supremacy was taking the city.

Once the city was completed, more than 100,000 people were sent there, each man and able woman was put to work, to construct and build their own houses, by using supplies from Shadow Forest. Over time, the city was exapanded, until there was little room left for more houses, as more and more people ventured into the city. Houses, huts and farms were then built around the city.

In the year FA 12590, the Dark-Elf Supremacy got word that the great city was home to a great portion of Kolodyyne's population, and sent more than 10,000 soldiers to attempt to take it over. In a battle known as The Battle of Stone and Freedom, the Supremacy launched attack after attack, attempting to breach the walls of the city. However their weapons were not strong enough to penetrate the thick stone.

The people of the city attempted to starve them out, but every supply cart that was sent to the city was ambushed. This caused riots within the city and many of the people begun to turn on each other. This outburst caused the lord, Vinckan Gorogduum to sent his forces out to meet them on the battlefield.

While the Supremacy's forces still outnumbered their own, Vinckan used the underground tunnels that helped construct the city, to take the forces off guard. After a stunning victory, most of the Dark-Elf forces retreated in failure. After the victory, no other force attempted to take it

Another place Amathan the Great built in the city, The Sept of Amathan was built for the people, those who worshipped all the gods. While this was rare in most cities, as many of them supported only one god, this sept held more than five different temples to honour all the gods.

One of the most popular places in the city, The Drunken Dwarf is a massive tavern that houses more than 200 people per day. It is said that it serves the best ale in the Dwavern Kingdom, and has even had kings and queens staying there.
